While the aftermarket performed well in Q2, it could be facing headwinds from losing Huge Domains’ inventory. I’ve also heard anecdotally from some domain investors that they’ve noticed that Huge Domains is not bidding as much in expired domain auctions.

GoDaddy is still forecasting record aftermarket revenue for the full year. It expects Applications & Commerce to continue growing in the mid-teens next quarter, and Core Platform should remain in the low single digits.

The biggest mistake GoDaddy could have done was to get rid of uniregistry and Dan.com it left the door wide open for SAW.com and DomainEasy. Not to mention the other services creeping in to try and take a chunk of the DAN market.

GoDaddy would have had a bigger impact with all 3 instead of one Afternic which some people just don't like.

I still don't understand why GoDaddy would close Dan (other than hubris and envy from the Afternic contingent) as it's mostly automated and you can run that with a skeleton crew compared to something byzantine and manpower-heavy like Afternic.

By closing Dan and not having a viable alternative waiting, GD opened the door wide for competition.

It's almost like their management has absolutely no clue.
